Susannah Hallal

Susannah Hallal serves as an Adjunct Associate Lecturer within the School of Medical Sciences at the University of Sydney's Faculty of Medicine and Health. Her research focuses on neuro-oncology biomarker discovery through extracellular vesicle analysis, particularly for glioblastoma diagnostics and monitoring.

Her primary research interests include neuro-oncology, extracellular vesicle characterization, biomarker development, proteomics, molecular diagnostics, and glioma surveillance. Hallal employs advanced techniques like SWATH-MS proteomics and deep sequencing of small RNAs to identify circulating biomarkers in blood and neurosurgical aspirates, aiming to develop non-invasive diagnostic tools for brain tumors.

Analysis of her 2016-2023 publications reveals consistent focus on extracellular vesicle surface proteomics, epitranscriptome analysis, and validation of specific biomarkers (e.g., miR-486-3p, CCT6A) for distinguishing glioblastoma grades and monitoring disease progression. Her work bridges molecular oncology and clinical diagnostics with strong translational potential.
